Song (continued)
“we'll raise the flag of freedom”
(continued from previous page)The ships out on the ocean they moved their ships ashore.
They assembled - thousands from Sligo and Knocknarea
But the pride of all our County were the Leyney boys that day.
May the shamrock wane o'er Allen's grave that in Manchester lay,
Likewise Larkin's and O'Brien's that are sleeping in their graves
The British crown, we will pull down,
And tryrants we will run
A nd our rifles yet will revenge the day.
That Manchester boys were hung
Unite my boys we'll burst their chains off Erin's liberty.
We'll write our names in Scripture when Old Erin will be free
We'll write o'er the graves of the heroes,
Who died for Erin's cause
And I long to see at liberty our faithful Fenian boys.
